I doubled the recipe but felt it needed one more egg for the double batch. Probably depends on the bread crumbs, plus I used smaller eggs. This were still great warmed up in the microwave. Just added a squeeze of fresh lemon before adding a dollop of sauce.

I especially loved the sauce and felt the yogurt makes it even better. I'm considering baking up a batch and then freezing them, thinking they could be thawed in the microwave, then finished up in a skillet. Maybe mini ones on a toothpick with the sauce would make a good appetizer as well.

I would try to substitute ground flaxmeal for the bread crumbs. I have used ground flaxmeal as a substitute for breadcrumbs in a meatloaf and it turns out great. You might not get as much crunchiness though.

Try a Google search on "gluten free salmon patties." I found gluten-free bread crumbs, corn meal, rice cereal. If you're on a gluten-free diet, you probably have a suitable substitute already in your pantry.

My husband and I are always looking for ways to integrate more fish into out diets, and canned salmon is an economical, easy way to do it. If you can get over the canned salmon looks, you can acutally just crush up the bones and skin and eat everything that comes out of the can - more calcium for you. I used fat free plain greek yogurt for the sauce because that's what I had in the fridge and it made the sauce super creamy. Sauce definitely makes the cakes. Yum.

I had no idea how gross canned salmon is. Picking through it to get the bones out is not for the weak of stomach. But if you can get past that icky bit, this recipe is really good, and so is the dill sauce! (P.S. All I had was prepared breadcrumbs and it worked great. Also I cooked & baked the patties in the same large cast iron pan.)

You can buy smaller cans of skinless & boneless salmon, but you will use 2 cans which makes 6 instead of 8 patties. Also, if you have kitties, give them the juice, skin & bones, they love it & it's good for them.
